Which teams earned high marks and which teams disappointed in the first round of Thursday’s draft? The Crossover breaks it down.

1. Orlando Magic: Paolo Banchero
Grade: A-
The Magic just pulled off some all-time draft shenanigans, for which I’m slightly upgrading their grade here at No. 1. Orlando successfully kept this close to the vest and had much of the NBA fooled, including Banchero himself, who as I understand it wasn’t even sure he was the guy here.
